Close call

Saved by the bladder.....
2am I rose to the call of nature and smell a burning plastic smell.
Opened my bedroom door and recoiled.
Moving to the living room there was a White-Grey cloud coming from the kitchen.
I couldn’t inhale. The rice cooker was on a hot burner on the stove, melting.
I turned off the burner.
Started opening windows, doors, and turning on fans.
Choking, not able to inhale and made it out the back door.
Held my breath, ran inside, grabbed the rice cooker that Tina had come out and placed in the sink, and took it out side.
I went upstairs to check on Michelle and Eli and thankfully the smoke did not get upstairs.
Tina took the dog and stayed in her car while waited for the cloud to dissipate.
I went in kitchen trying not the breath while I took a metal spatula to scrape off the melted plastic from the stove top. Then used a sponge and dishwashing soap to scrub the remains of the plastic off trying to save the burner.
Leaving the windows open, fans running we went downstairs to sleep with the dog at the feet on a couch. Trudie shares well.
Woke up at 6am and started cleaning and got some frebreeze to help with the smell. Eyes and sinuses burning somewhat.
6:30 pm still smells but tolerable and the wall and curtains and rugs and pillows have been washed.
Michelle has moved the rice cooker to the back of the stove top and it push against a knob turning the burner on high.
We we’re lucky.
